I have enjoyed my time at Castle House but management focus has become poor of late and I feel it is now impacting on my ability to develop my skills. I therefore believe now is the right time to make a change and look to further my career in a new environment.

I worked here as part of a growing team within what was then a relatively new practice. During this time I helped to train a new graduate who had only just started her veterinary career and we are still great friends to this day. After three years I decided I would like to be closer to home and family so relocated to Newcastle Emlyn.

After graduation I started work at CVC having spent many weeks there during vet school. Being part of a large team, communication and team work were key. Initially seeing mixed practice, after two years I made the decision to focus primarily on small animals as I preferred the diversity of the role. Working within a large hospital environment, developing strong team relations were key.
